She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts.

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

It’s city and country. It’s rock and soul. It's bleeding\, sweating\, crying\, rejoicing … It’s alive! The Kalamazoo Gazette came pretty close to the Hoots and Hellmouth experience with the description of the duo \"singing from the pits of themselves and throwing themselves into it all.\" Hoots and Hellmouth have been big local favorites ever since their roof-raising appearances at the 2010 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.\nThis performance is in memory of Al Howarth.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

The Making of European Jihadis DESCRIPTION:More than 4000 people from Europe have gone to Syria to fight with IS. They include mothers\, grandfathers\, school students\, doctors\, and teachers. What is it that draws thousands of Europeans to a brutal\, sadistic organization like IS? The conventional answer is “radicalization”: a process through which extremist groups or “hate preachers” groom vulnerable Muslims for jihadism by indoctrinating them with extremist ideas. Some commentators blame Western authorities for pushing young Muslims into the arms of the groomers. Others stress the “pull” factor\, insisting that the problem lies with Islam itself\, a faith that\, in their eyes\, legitimizes violence\, terror\, and inhumanity.\n\nThe speaker will argue that neither claim is credible and that the problem with much of contemporary discussion about terrorism lies in the very idea of “radicalization.” Through exploration of the life stories of European jihadis\, he will challenge conventional ways of thinking about “radicalization\,” “alienation\,” and “integration.”\n\nKenan Malik is a London-based writer\, lecturer\, and broadcaster. His latest book\,From Fatwa to Jihad: The Rushdie Affair and its Legacy (Atlantic\, 2009) explores the issues that the Rushide affair raised\, in particular the questions of muliculturalism\, radical Islam\, and free speech\, and shows how in responding to these issues Western liberals have betrayed the fundamental beliefs of liberalism. It was shortlisted for the 2010 Orwell Book Prize. His current project is a history of moral thought.\n\nPart of the European Mosque series\, jointly sponsored by the Center for European Studies and Islamic Studies Program\, which focuses on the mosque and its place in the European landscape. What cultural and social role does the mosque play for Muslims in Europe? How do European mosques blend traditional Islamic and modern European architectural features\, and traditional preaching with modern technology? What is unique about the European mosque\, and how does it shape the lives of European Muslims?

Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski\, and drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B\, funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues\, and New Orleans second-line\, the Honeydrops bring vibrant energy and infectious dance-party vibes to their shows. They’ve taken the party all over the world: on 9 European tours\, featured slots at such premiere festivals as Monterey Jazz\, High Sierra\, and Outside Lands\, and recent performances supporting B.B. King\, Dr. John\, Buddy Guy\, and Allen Toussaint. Whether in those high-profile performances or in more intimate venues where the band itself can leave the stage and get down on the dance floor\, the California Honeydrops’ shared vision and purpose remain: to make the audience dance and sing. The Honeydrops have come a long way since guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland BART station\, but the band has stayed true to that organic\, street-level feel. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. Bringing all those influences together with the rest of the band’s diverse experiences into a unified musical vision\, the California Honeydrops expect to play parties for a long time. The effortlessly multi-genre Ann Arbor band The Understorey opens.

She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

Yet basic\, descriptive and inferential statistics can be taught without complex equations and mathematical \"mumbo-jumbo.\" This course simplifies statistics for laypeople and helps them understand how statistics are used and misused. Topics include: How do scientific researchers summarize and interpret their work? What does \"statistically significant\" mean? What is the difference between correlation and causation? More generally\, how can one intelligently interpret research results reported in the media? Gerald Gardner\, Ph.D.\, Emeritus Professor\, U of M-Dearborn\, has taught statistics in many courses. This class for those over 50 meets October 6 - 27. \nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/638 UID:23854-1426391@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23854 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lifelong Learning,Literature,Research,Retirement LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151021T123029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151006T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151006T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Expo Free LinkedIn Photos DESCRIPTION:No need for a selfie!

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Tens of thousands of brothels\, concert saloons\, and dance halls across the nation—all common sites for prostitution—featured regular\, full-time professional music-making for dancing\, and thus provided a well-paid livelihood for working musicians. This project explores the nexus between prostitution\, music-making\, dance\, sexuality\, an underground cultural economy\, and the development of musical foundations upon which an extraordinarily vital 20th-century American popular music was built. \n\nSponsored by the American Music Institute and U-M Gershwin Initiative.

The date was previously listed as Friday\, October 16th.\n\nIn the exploding world of acoustic music\, Willie Watson hardly needs an introduction. During his decade-plus tenure with Old Crow Medicine Show\, Willie’s driving rhythm guitar\, transcendent lead vocals and pure tenor were an essential part of the band’s success (over 600\,000 records sold not to mention the platinum-selling single “Wagon Wheel”)\, but nowhere in OCMS’s catalog does his instrumental artistry and vocal prowess shine through as in his new solo incarnation. Reaching back for inspiration to such artists as Utah Phillips\, Leadbelly\, and even the 1930s folk-country crossover artist Bascom Lamar Lunsford\, Willie reinterprets and gives new life to a vast catalog of traditional songs that fit seamlessly beside self-penned classics cut from the very same cloth\, creating a rich new patchwork of Americana. Willie returns to The Ark fresh off a tour of the UK\, and we're glad to see him taking the music The Ark started out with all over the world.

She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

GaN is a piezoelectric material. As a result\, when it is strained\, a strong built-in electric field is generated which has profound impacts on its applications in LEDs and lasers. In these devices\, strained InGaN heterostructures are routinely employed as the light-emitting active region. The strain induced built-in electric field can significantly lower the emitter efficiency\, cause efficiency droop and undesirable wavelength drift. Nanowires can effectively relax the strain and nanowire LEDs have attracted substantial interests in recent years. In this work\, we showed that by controlling and engineering the strain in GaN nanowires\, not only can one realize benefits from strain relaxation\, new degrees of control can be obtained which have potential applications for display\, communication\, and sensing.

How does the medium of dance allow artists to deconstruct and recreate literary classics? Based on more than six decades of experience in China's ballet world\, Professor Xiao Suhua will discuss his views on contemporary ballet in China past and present. He will also introduce and discuss two of his own recent experimental dance adaptations of Chinese literary classics\, including Legend of the White Snake and Dream of Red Mansions. A brief question and answer session will follow.\n\nXiao Suhua (肖苏华) ranks among China’s foremost choreographers and teachers of contemporary dance. Born in Moscow in 1937 to agents of China’s underground Communist Party\, he trained in Soviet dance academies and returned to newly-established Communist China after the 1949 revolution. Prof. Xiao began his career as a conduit for Beijing-Moscow cultural exchanges\, a role lasting into the 1960s. He survived persecution during the Cultural Revolution to emerge as one of China’s most influential advocates of contemporary dance. His choreography brings together Soviet dramatic and symphonic dance idioms with traditional Chinese tales like Dream of the Red Chamber and White Snake. Today\, Prof. Xiao maintains close creative relationships with global dance institutions including the Bolshoi Ballet\, traveling frequently and sitting on numerous juries in Asia and Europe. This will be his first lecture and workshop series in the United States\, offering a rare window into the contemporary arts culture of China and Russia\, and the history of Sino-Soviet cultural collaboration. Prof. Xiao is fluent in Russian and Mandarin.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at U-M.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

How is it possible that the United States\, which spends more than any other nation on health care and insurance\, now has a population markedly less healthy than those of many other nations? Sociologist and public health expert James S. House analyzes this paradoxical crisis\, offering surprising new explanations for how and why the United States has fallen into this trap. In Beyond Obamacare\, House shows that health care reforms\, including the Affordable Care Act\, cannot resolve this crisis because they do not focus on the underlying causes for the nation’s poor health outcomes\, which are largely social\, economic\, environmental\, psychological\, and behavioral.\n\nHouse demonstrates that the problems of our broken health care and insurance system are interconnected with our large and growing social disparities in education\, income\, and other conditions of life and work. House calls for a complete reorientation of how we think about health. He concludes that we need to move away from our misguided and almost exclusive focus on biomedical determinants of health\, and to place more emphasis on addressing social\, economic\,and other inequalities.\n\nFor more information on Beyond Obamacare\, visit the publisher's website.\n\nFrom the author's bio:\n\nJames S. House is the Angus Campbell Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Survey Research\, Public Policy and Sociology. His primary appointment is in the Survey Research Center\, the Institute for Social Research\, with a joint retention appointment in Sociology in addition to his primary academic appointment in Public Policy. His research has focused on the role of social and psychological factors in the etiology and course of health and illness\, including the role of psychosocial factors in understanding and alleviating social disparities in health and the way health changes with age. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the Institute of Medicine\, and the National Academy of Sciences. At the Ford School he teaches courses in socioeconomic policy and health policy. In the last decade\, Jim co-edited Making Americans Healthier: Social and Economic Policy as Health Policy (2008\, with Bob Schoeni of the Ford School and others) and A Telescope on Society: Survey Research & Social Science at the University of Michigan and Beyond (2004\, with others).

Once the Chosŏn state ended a bloody persecution (1394–1416) which virtually exterminated the Wangs\, the lucky survivors and their descendants performed state-sanctioned ancestor veneration ritual of sacrificial offering (pongsa) to Koryŏ kings. Moreover\, many passed the government service examinations\, entered officialdom\, commanded armies\, and constituted local elite lineages in various parts of Korea. The most privileged among the Wangs were no different from the general aristocracy (yangban) pursuing classical Chinese education and prescribing to Confucian moral norms such as the cardinal virtue of subject’s loyalty (ch’ung) to the ruler. All the same\, an emerging body of subversive narratives\, written and oral\, began expressing sympathy toward Koryŏ and its progeny as victims of Chosŏn. The Wangs themselves refrained from openly concurring until after the end of the Chosŏn dynasty.\n\nEugene Y. Park is Korea Foundation Associate Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. The author of \"Between Dreams and Reality: The Military Examination in Chosŏn Korea\, 1600–1894\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2007) and \"A Family of No Prominence: The Descendants of Pak Tokhwa and the Birth of Modern Korea\" (Stanford University Press\, 2014)\, Park received his B.A. from UCLA\, followed by M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.

This article begins by establishing the existence of networks of colonial sociologists and charting their size\, composition\, and relations to neighboring academic disciplines\, especially anthropology. A careful reconstruction of the two sociological fields finds that colonies became a key object\, terrain of investigation\, and employment site for sociologists\, engaging 33-55% of the British and French sociology fields between 1945 and 1960. Colonial developmentalism created a demand for new forms of social scientific expertise\, including Sociology. Sociologists became favored partners of colonial governments\, resulting in novel forms of applied sociology focused on urbanization\, detribalization\, labor migration\, industrialization\, poverty\, and resettlement. Colonial sociologists also made a number of theoretical\, methodological\, and empirical contributions that\, while largely forgotten\, shaped the subsequent discipline in unacknowledged ways and foreshadowed more recent work on race relations\, transnational and global history\, and “southern” and postcolonial theory.

Guest speaker Merle Lyn Bachman will present her investigations into the work and worlds of these two very different writers\, who are connected by the wandering and multiplicity that mark their poems\, as well as the sharp bite of diaspora. Translation creates another connection\, as both poets engaged in translating (from Hebrew and from English)\, and Bachman herself is translating selections from Nevadovska’s Yiddish poems.\n\nMerle Bachman is a poet\, a Yiddishist\, and an Associate Professor English at Spalding University\, where she also directs the undergraduate Creative Writing program. She is one of the National Yiddish Book Center’s Translation Fellows for 2015. Her publications include the scholarly work\, Recovering ‘Yiddishland’: Threshold Moments in American Literature (Syracuse UP 2008) and several collections of poetry\, including Blood Party\, forthcoming from Shearsman Books later this year.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues.

Widodo made commitments on past rights abuses\, none have yet been backed with specific policy measures. Indonesia’s religious minorities face continuing harassment\, intimidation and violence by Islamist militants. Indonesia officially tolerates local Islamic bylaws that violate rights of women\, LGBT people and religious minorities. Abuses in Papua remain serious\, including prosecution of peaceful political expression. Widodo has shocked many by implementing the death penalty on a widespread basis against convicted drug traffickers as a signature issue of his administration.\n\nAndreas Harsono has covered Indonesia for Human Rights Watch since 2008\, prior to which he helped found the Jakarta-based Institute for the Studies on Free Flow of Information and the Pantau Foundation\, a journalist training organization also based in Jakarta.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Tyree Guyton\, New Work DESCRIPTION:The fifteen works of art presented in “What Time Is It?” emerge from Guyton's well-known Heidelberg Project\, a dynamic outdoor intervention covering two city blocks in the Paradise Valley neighborhood of southeast Detroit. It is work that addresses the difficult social and economic challenges that the citizens of Detroit have faced over the last fifty years. This exhibit marks a key moment of transition for Guyton as he shifts his attention from the Heidelberg Project\, to which he has devoted the last thirty years\, to the studio.

Learning health systems would capitalize on \"big data\" enterprises to accelerate the production and application of knowledge in health care. However\, the sharing of health information required\, both within and across institutions\, greatly exceeds the public’s understanding. These initiatives are riding a precarious edge as the gap between public expectations and the realities of institutional data sharing widens at an unprecedented rate. This presentation considers the causes and consequences of trust and mistrust of health information systems\, their data sharing practices\, and their policy implications.

To better understand the dynamics of co-infection in natural systems\, we used a free-ranging population of African buffalo to explore the consequences of worm infection for bovine tuberculosis (BTB). We followed 200 animals for four years to test the effects of anthelmintic treatment and host resistance on individual and population-level outcomes of BTB infection. We found that de-worming had no effect on individual risk of infection\, but enhanced survival of BTB-infected individuals\, translating into a higher basic reproductive number for BTB with treatment. Host resistance to worm infection also had no effect on individual risk\, but buffalo that were naturally worm-free were more likely to die of BTB infection. The distinct effects of de-worming versus natural resistance on BTB severity arise from differences in BTB dissemination in the body. Our work shows that different ways of being worm-free (i.e. artificial treatment vs. natural resistance) have distinct outcomes for microbial co-infection.

In this talk\, Abraham Acosta will propose a critical and historical reevaluation of contemporary Latin American theories and narratives of hegemony and resistance that advance a new more critical approach to understanding acts or moments of antagonism which he calls “illiteracy.” This talk will present some of the more salient and productive features of Thresholds of Illiteracy (Fordham University Press\, 2104) as it relates to current intellectual debates concerning Latin America and the now post hegemonic role of culture and state in the neoliberal era. \nAbraham Acosta is Associate Professor of Latin American Cultural Studies at the University of Arizona. He specializes in literary and cultural analysis\, focusing on questions of subalternity\, postcoloniality\, and biopolitics in the Americas. His research traverses the critical realities of contemporary multilingual contexts\, where assumptions of power\, knowledge\, and capital crosshatch with historical translations of cultural difference. Acosta’s work has been published in such journals as Dispositio/n\, the Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies\, Social Text\, and Critical Multilingualism Studies. His book\, Thresholds of Illiteracy: Theory\, Latin America\, and the Crisis of Resistance (2014) is published by Fordham University Press. \n\nCosponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature UID:25387-1745461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/25387 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Latin America,Spanish Studies LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150916T150651 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151008T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151008T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Symposium University of Michigan Senate's Davis-Markert-Nickerson Lecture on Academic and Intellectual Freedom DESCRIPTION:Two internationally recognized scholars will deliver addresses.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters.

Ford Presidential Library welcomes University of Texas –Austin Professor Bartholomew Sparrow to give a talk on his new book\, The Strategist: Brent Scowcroft and the Call of National Security.\n\nThis insightful book focused on the role General Brent Scowcroft played in shaping foreign policy across multiple administrations both as National Security Advisor and in other roles. Sparrow argues that while many thought of Scowcroft simply as a policymaker\, he was actually a strategic operator. Sparrow points out that while Scowcroft operated largely out of the public eye\, President Ford relied on him as his most trusted foreign policy advisor while Henry Kissinger considered him a full partner.\n\nSparrow notes that Scowcroft not only shaped the policy process in administrations he advised and served\, he also left an enduring legacy as a model National Security Advisor. This legacy is rooted in Scowcroft’s ability to keep his eye on the ball\, his objectiveness\, his curiosity\, his drive\, and his propensity to constantly grow. As a strategist\, Sparrow ultimately concludes that Scowcroft was unique in that he combined skilled coordination with shrewd strategic thinking and possessed the operational skills necessary to bear strategy out.\n\nFree Admission\; Free Parking\; Book sales/signing and reception follow program.

Emphasizing the monumentality of not only the Golden Gate Bridge\, but also the massive container ships that pass beneath it\, the installation reveals the bridge as part of an environment that is at once natural and human-made.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nDoug Hall is an internationally known artist who has worked for over 40 years in a wide range of media\, including performance\, installation\, video\, and large format photography. In the 1970s he became prominent for his work with the media art collective T. R. Uthco\, which\, among many other works\, created the video and installation The Eternal Frame\, a reenactment of the Kennedy assassination. In the late 1980s his interests expanded to include large format photography\, which has remained central to his practice. His work has been exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe and is included in numerous collections. The recipient of numerous grants and awards\, Hall received the 1995 Rome Prize. He is professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues.

Increased insurer competition may lead to lower premiums\; it may also increase health providers’ leverage to negotiate higher prices\, thereby mitigating premium reductions. We use detailed California admissions\, claims\, and enrollment data from a large benefits manager to estimate our model and simulate the removal of an insurer from consumers’ choice sets. Although premiums rise and annual consumer surplus falls by $50-120 per capita\, hospital prices and spending fall in certain markets as remaining insurers negotiate lower rates. Overall\, the impact on negotiated prices is heterogeneous\, with increases or decreases of up to 15% across markets. We conclude that insurer competition can increase consumer surplus but also generate a redistribution of rents across hospitals and greater medical spending in certain markets.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

We hear a great deal about the dangers of fatness to the nation\, but little about the dangers of today’s epidemic of fat talk to individuals and society at large. \n\nThe human trauma caused by the war on fat is disturbing―and it is virtually unknown. How do those who do not fit the “ideal” body type feel being the object of abuse\, discrimination\, and even revulsion? How do people feel being told they are a burden on the healthcare system for having a BMI outside what is deemed―with little solid scientific evidence―“healthy”? How do young people\, already prone to self-doubt about their bodies\, withstand the daily assault on their body type and sense of self-worth? In Fat-Talk Nation\, Susan Greenhalgh tells the story of today’s fight against excess pounds by giving young people\, the campaign’s main target\, an opportunity to speak about experiences that have long lain hidden in silence and shame.\n\nBook signing and sales to follow the lecture.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters. Art from around the world pops up in every inch of downtown\, and it’s all free and open to the public.\n\nIt’s unorthodox\, highly disruptive\, and undeniably intriguing to the art world and the public alike.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

In the USA\, U-M Dance (MFA ’07) and Pedagogy of Action (POA) Alumnus Rodney A. Brown engages choreography as a means to address the global health problem of HIV/ AIDS. This master-class will demonstrate how Brown has used Modern (or Contemporary) dance to share the POA oral HIV prevention method. We know information can be shared through movement and words\, so we seek to understand if it can through dance.\n\nEach session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. \n\nIn the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects UID:24191-1431596@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/24191 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Free LOCATION:Dance Building - Betty Pease Studio Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151014T231400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151009T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151009T143000 SUMMARY:Other:LAB Study Tables DESCRIPTION:Looking for some assistance in your courses\, or just a productive space to get work done?

The goods traded within each market are identical\, common-value objects and we model the price formation process as a large uniform-price auction. Before the auctions\, bidders receive informative but imperfect signals about the state of the world and choose to participate in one of the markets. Our main result shows that if market frictions lead to uncertain gains from trade in any ofthe two markets\, then there is no equilibrium where prices aggregate information in any of the markets. In contrast\, if both markets are frictionless\, then prices fully aggregate information in both markets. These findings are driven by how bidders self-select across markets: Better-informed bidders select frictional markets while uninformed\, pessimistic bidders select the safety of frictionless markets. Our results suggest a novel mechanism through which market imperfections in one market can have widespread effects across all linked markets.

How do arctic environments really respond to warming climate? Geologic records can provide some answers. Specifically\, insolation-driven warmth across the Arctic during the Last Interglacial period (ca. 130 to 116 thousand years ago) and the early to middle Holocene (ca. 9-5 thousand years ago) provides geologically accessible analogs for future arctic warming and its impacts. And by providing a picture of what a warmer Arctic really looks like\, paleoclimate reconstructions from these past warm periods can be used to test and improve climate and ice sheet models.\n\nThis talk will describe recent efforts to reconstruct the warm climates of the Last Interglacial and early Holocene on and near Greenland using insect assemblages preserved in lake sediments. Terrestrial temperature reconstructions for the Last Interglacial are rare in the heavily glaciated North Atlantic Arctic region due to widespread erosion of sediments by continental ice sheets during the Last Glacial Maximum. To address this problem\, we exploit special glacial geologic settings where cold-based Pleistocene ice cover preserved ancient lake sediments in situ. In contrast\, Holocene lake sediment records are widespread across the region\, allowing for comparison of records across an ever-growing network of sites. Our reconstructed Holocene summer temperature anomalies are larger than those typically inferred from annually-integrated indicators from the ice sheet itself\, agree well with the timing of climate shifts inferred from other archives\, and suggest significant spatial heterogeneity of Holocene climate change around Greenland. Future work will apply geochemical proxy methods (oxygen isotopes of aquatic organic materials and hydrogen isotopes of leaf waxes) in parallel with insect-based reconstructions to infer additional aspects of climate during the Holocene and Last Interglacial.

Relating local performance history to a community’s broader history and culture not only provides a better understanding of that community\, but it forges unique bonds between the community and the music that was previously thought to be from somewhere else. Barbara Haws has been the archivist and historian of the New York Philharmonic since 1984 and will discuss how she has gone about relating the Philharmonic’s concert experience to the broader cultural life of the city. \n\nCo-sponsored by UMS\, Department of Musicology\, and American Music Institute.

In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

This year\, we've submitted it in the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids\, MI.\n\nAbout State of Exception\n\nThis exhibition presents traces of the human experience--backpacks\, water bottles\, border patrol restrains\, and other objects left behind in the desert by undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. This in combination with video shot by Richard Barnes on location along the U.S./Mexico border comprises State of Exception\, the first major curation of the work of U-M anthropologist Jason De León’s Undocumented Migration project. This collaboration between artist/photographer Richard Barnes\, De León\, and curator Amanda Krugliak considers the complexity and ambiguity of the found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition\, human experience\, culture\, violence\, and accountability. Read more about Jason De León\, Richard Barnes\, and Amanda Krugliak. \n\nAbout ArtPrize\n\nArtPrize is a radically open\, independently organized international art competition and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\n\nFor 19 days\, three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, become an open playing field where anyone can find a voice in the conversation about what is art and why it matters.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Thus ended the life of the great Marxist theoretician of world socialist revolution and one of the towering figures of modern political history.The assassination of Leon Trotsky ranks among the most politically consequential crimes of the twentieth century\, with far-reaching and long-enduring consequences for the development of the international working class and the world socialist movement. And yet for decades the circumstances surrounding Trotsky’s assassination remained shrouded in secrecy. The massive scale of the Stalinist conspiracy against Trotsky—in particular\, the extent of the penetration of the Trotskyist movement by the GPU—was the subject of a carefully orchestrated cover-up.In 1975 the International Committee of the Fourth International launched the first intensive and systematic investigation by the Trotskyist movement into the 1940 assassination. This investigation\, known as Security and the Fourth International\, led to the exposure of the network of GPU agents within the Fourth International—especially in Paris\, Mexico City and New York—which ensured the success of Stalin’s conspiracy against Trotsky’s life. The International Committee’s investigation was bitterly opposed by Pabloite and pseudo-left organizations\, which denounced the exposure of spies placed inside the Trotskyist movement as “agent-baiting.” This has remained their position\, despite the fact that state intelligence documents released following the dissolution of the Soviet Union confirmed the findings of the International Committee and vindicated Security and the Fourth International.David North\, the chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site\, has been a major figure in the international Trotskyist movement for forty years. He played a central role in the Security and the Fourth International investigation. In these international on-line interviews\, WSWS correspondent Andrea Peters will speak with North about the significance of Trotsky’s assassination\, the origins and development of the International Committee’s investigation\, and its key findings.To register to listen online follow the link below:http://www.wsws.org/trotsky/ https://www.facebook.com/IYSSEUM  UID:25391-1747609@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/25391 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Online - listening room available upon request CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20141029T152936 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151010T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151010T143000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Dinosaur Tour!

A Maine native and a Boston coffeehouse sensation\, Patty headed south to Austin\, and her work combines Southern roots sounds and Northeastern poetry. Her elegant lyrics\, bluesy alto vocals\, and melodic guitar style aim directly at the deepest emotions of her listeners\, and top artists on the country and acoustic side—like Emmylou Harris and even Kelly Clarkson—keep close tabs on what she's up to. Emmylou says\, \"I would go anywhere\, any time\, to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.\" She can rock a bit\, she can sing straight gospel\, she can do the sparest and most minimal kind of folk singer-songwriter performance. But what really distinguishes Patty Griffin is a body of deeply poetic songs\, personal in unexpected ways\, that can stand with the output of anyone else in the business. Patty Griffin comes to Michigan with a brand-new album\, her tenth: it's called \"Servant of Love\,\" and it's rooted in the mysteries of the natural world\, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman\, and human relationships to nature\, society\, and time.

A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band cuts through with their originality\, musicianship\, and a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. Through years of touring\, The BDB has played notable venues in Michigan such as The Ark\, The Blind Pig\, and the Magic Bag\, and has toured to New York City\, Washington D.C.\, and Nashville. The son of actor Jeff Daniels\, Ben has quietly monitored what it takes to live life as an artist. Beyond a passed-down talent\, the Ben Daniels Band believes in hard work\, perseverance\, and creatively challenging themselves and their audience. Their songs become anthems with arrangements that pull people inside their sound. With six CDs under their belts—\"Coming From The C\,\" \"Checkin’ In To The Michigan Inn\,\" \"Can’t You See\,\" \"The Mountain Home\" EP\, the dual album & movie release \"Old Gold\,\" and their most recent release\, \"Roll\"—The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique.
